Billy Nicholls - Would You Believe
Billy Nicholls - Would You Believe (1967)
If you could imagine the album of your dreams, the one you've been searching for all these years. Something you really want to exaggerate (since you're dreaming); like: Donovan getting produced and arranged by Brian Wilson (who leaves "Pet Sounds" to dedicate himself to it) and calls Macca and Lennon to help out, while one of the technicians alerts that his friend Syd Barrett - if he can remember - will eventually stop by to lend an ear too...
Meanwhile, in the studio, during the downtime, they listen to "Notorious Byrd Brothers" and "Forever Changes" at full blast.
Well, that album exists! It was made by a young guy who, at 16, was already composing for Del Shannon, and who later worked with Marriot, Daltrey, the Nice... Billy is a top-notch guy and he’s got the looks too, but the album was never released!
Billy didn’t just sit there twiddling his thumbs: he wrote and produced a ton of stuff for others (at least one chart hit, "I Can't Stop Loving You") and nine albums under his own name. And quite a few other things.
But "Would You Believe" had to wait over 30 years to see the light of day.
Well, now I may sound like a fool, but I'll tell you one thing: if in your life you should only listen to around twenty albums, make sure this one is among them!
